LCCC Sound Energy Concert
Lorain County Community College presents “Sound Energy:
A Signature Series Concert” at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3
at the Cirigliano Studio Theatre at the Stocker Arts Center.
Sound Energy is a dynamic, Boston-based string trio com-
mitted to exploring new sounds, new collaborations, and new
music. Established in 2013 by founding members Micah Bright-
well (violin) and Ashleigh Gordon (viola) with the subsequent
addition of Benjamin Swartz (cello), Sound Energy is constant-
ly searching for ways to push the traditional violin-viola-cello
combination to represent the bold, daring voices of 20th and 21st
century composers.
Sound Energy members hail from as far as New Zealand with
studies in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, The Netherlands,
and Germany. As individuals, they’ve performed internation-
ally in Hong Kong, London and Mexico with ensembles such
as Ensemble Modern, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Cal-
lithumpian Consort, and the Bang on a Can All-Stars. They’ve
attended festivals including Britten-Pears, Aspen, Tanglewood,
and Kneisel Hall and hold degrees from New England Conser-
vatory, Royal Academy of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music,
Peabody Conservatory, Johns Hopkins University, Rice Univer-
sity, Baldwin-Wallace University and the Internationale Ensem-
ble Modern Akademie.
The event is sponsored by the Arts and Humanities division.
Admission is free.

habitats and the establishment of needed conservation efforts.

Did you know? “STEM”
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only about one-quar-
ter of those working in the ?elds of science, technology, en-
gineering and mathematics, widely referred to as “STEM,”
are women. The percentages of women working in STEM are
even lower in Canada, where Statistics Canada notes the per-
centage of women working in STEM has increased from just
20 percent in 1987 to 22 percent in 2015. Perhaps in recog-
nition of those statistics, numerous organizations are working
to promote women in STEM. One such organization is the
National Girls Collaborative Project (ngcproject.org), which
works to bring together organizations throughout the United
States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls
goals is the Women in Engineering Proactive Network (we-
pan.org), which works to promote the inclusion of women in
the ?eld of engineering. Female students in high school or
college who are interested in STEM ?elds should make their
interest known to teachers or advisors; they can even contact
certain organizations to learn about the opportunities and re-
sources available to them.

GOLF APP ARTICLE FROM PAGE 18
For starters, they really want you to upgrade to a pre-
mium membership, which costs $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr.
While this is a fair tradeoff for using the app for free, it’s
a bit more “in your face” than some of the other apps,
and ads are displayed quite a bit as well.
Golf Logix performs well on the course as a GPS de-
vice. Instead of satellite images, they are using graph-
ical representations of the course. It could be a matter
of taste, but I preferred the clearer satellite images from
some of the other apps. Nonetheless you are able to
clearly see your yardages and the hole design.
You can easily alter your target and are displayed the
yardages to all points on the green. One unique feature
is that it can display a grid of your landing zones for dif-
ferent clubs (you need to enter all of your club distances
beforehand to get an accurate reading).
Entering your score and stats for each hole was fairly
easy to do, but maybe not as intuitive as The Grint or
18 Birdies. Overall, Golf Logix performed very solidly
on the course. They withhold a bit more information for
their pro members than my other two picks, such as
hazard and layup distances, but what they offer for free
is certainly good enough for golfers looking to get basic
distance information.
Other Honorable Mentions are Game Golf, Golfshot
and GolfNow, feel free to test out the apps on your own.
Who knows you may ?nd one that I didn’t use! Those
are just my two cents, and many of you reading this
might have no problem using your phone on the course.
If you are, I think you’ll be more than happy with some
of the options I listed. They are great apps that will en-
hance your knowledge on the course.
